Tender

Every birthday, Fu Shihan's mother, Tang Wanzhi, will cook personally and prepare a grand birthday feast for her son with the servants.

Fu Shihan's home is located in the eastern suburbs compound, backed by mountains and rivers, with a quiet and peaceful environment. The house is an older three-story courtyard.

When he was a child, Huo Yan liked to play hide-and-seek in Fu's house, because the house is very big, with many rooms, attic and basement. For children, these rooms are full of attraction and mystery.

But Huo Sinan never played casually at Fu's house. She was very sensible. Every time she came to the house, she looked like a little princess, polite and dignified, accompanied by adults, and knew the rules.

Compared with her, Huo Yan is like a wild girl.

However, Ye Yatou has the advantages of Ye Yatou. You don't need to be restrained. You can play whatever you want. No one cares about her anyway. But unlike my sister, even if I eat a piece of meat when I am greedy at the dinner table, my mother will talk about it for a long time.

Huo Yan often thinks that if she is asked to behave like her sister, she can't stand it.

For this birthday party, several cousins ​​came to the Fu family, as well as their playmates in the compound when they were young, high school and university classmates, a room full of young people, and they soon became acquainted with each other.

Huo Sinuan was chatting with Fu Shihan's cousins ​​in the living room, while Huo Yan went to the kitchen to help Fu Shihan's mother Tang Wanzhi with cooking.

Unexpectedly, when I walked in, I saw Fu Shihan also.

He wore a dark casual long underwear with a relaxed and at-home style, and he was rarely seen such a relaxed look at school.

Standing in front of the cupboard, he nodded and lowered his eyebrows, holding a long sharp knife in one hand and pressing the red tomatoes in the other. The joints were slender and smooth, and every subtle movement of his fingers could pull under the fair skin. The meridians flow, and the movement of cutting vegetables with a knife is skillful and natural.

Several strands of soft hanging bangs hung in front of the forehead, and the lines on the side face were not as sharp as usual, showing a little softness.

And beside him stood a woman with fair skin, gentle eyebrows, and eyes like autumn water. She could vaguely see how beautiful she should be when she was young.

The charm between Fu Shihan's eyebrows and eyes is seven points similar to that of his mother Tang Wanzhi.

Seeing Huo Yan peeking at the door, Tang Wanzhi smiled and beckoned to her: "Come on, Yanyan, taste the crispy meat just out of the pot."

Huo Yan walked over, took his black hair, picked up a piece of golden crispy meat with chopsticks, and grabbed it in one bite.

"Well, it's so hot and so hot."

"If you are so greedy, you can eat it without blowing it."

Fu Shihan reluctantly reached out to take the half of the crispy meat in her mouth, and relieved her danger of burning her mouth.

Huo Yan stuck out his tongue and fanned it with his hand: "Huh~ I'm hungry."

Fu Shihan looked at her ruddy tongue, like a cat, and couldn't help but give birth to some charming reveries.

He gently blew half of the crispy meat in his hand, and then handed it to Huo Yan when it reached the temperature.

Huo Yan directly took the meat piece with his mouth, squeaking, and a silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Fu Shihan looked down at her, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Tasty?"

"It's delicious!" Huo Yan said repeatedly, "Aunt Tang's craftsmanship is still so good."

Tang Wanzhi smiled and said: "Today's crispy pork is made by Ahan himself. Knowing that you have liked to eat since childhood, he deliberately learned to cook it from me."

"Well……"

Huo Yan looked at Fu Shihan. He was holding a knife to cut cucumbers and murmured casually, "What should I say after eating my meat?"

Huo Yan stuck his tongue out: "Thank you Brother Han."

Tang Wanzhi said to Huo Yan: "Yanyan, you go out and play with your friends, and the food will be ready immediately."

Huo Yan shook his head: "I'm here to help auntie."

Seeing that Huo Yan had expertly picked up the apron and put it on herself, she reluctantly said: "Then you go to Ahan and see what he wants you to do."

"it is good."

Huo Yan obediently walked to Fu Shihan: "Brother Han, what shall I do."

Fu Shihan glanced at her and handed her half of the peeled cucumber: "Eat it."

"what?"

"Didn't you say to help."

"Yeah, I'll help you."

"Cut off half an extra cucumber and eat it for me."

He directly stuffed the cucumber into Huo Yan's mouth.

Huo Yan:...

She creaked, standing beside Fu Shihan, gnawing cucumbers for five minutes.

Fu Shihan took the spatula, poured the oil into the pot, and asked casually, "It's finished."

Huo Yanwan swallowed the last bite: "It's finished."

"Help me wear an apron."

"what?"

Fu Shihan raised the spatula: "I can't move my hand, help me wear it."

Huo Yan looked at the light-colored home clothes on him, so he took the apron and hung it around his neck on tiptoe.

Fu Shihan opened his arms, so Huo Yan wrapped his waist and tied him with a belt from the front.

In this posture, it was as if Huo Yan was embracing him.

There was some fresh smell of washing powder in his body, which gave people a particularly clean feeling, and Huo Yan took a deep breath calmly.

It smells so good.

"Okay?" he asked.

"It's almost done, I can't see, I can only rely on feeling."

"You can tie it around the back, why do you use this position?"

"Yes!"

Huo Yan slapped his head, she could help him wear a skirt from behind, and she had to surround him from the front, in such an awkward posture.

Her face flushed instantly, and she was a little annoyed.

Really stupid.

Seeing her blushing face, Fu Shihan's mouth twitched with a smile, "Want to take advantage of me?"

Huo Yan suddenly burned his earlobes: "Absolutely not!"

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Fu Shihan stopped teasing her. He turned around and asked her to wear her skirt, and then put the vegetables into the pot. The water droplets hit the oil and made a crackling sound.

While turning the spatula over, he shook Huo Yan's little head with the other hand: "If you are so stupid, what will you do in the future? Who dares to marry you."

Huo Yan curled his lips unconvincedly: "I have eaten your rice."

"If you really can't get married, I might really come to eat my rice in the future."

"Hey, the cheap ones are not affected by the food." Huo Yan said righteously: "I won't eat your rice."

The two were making a fuss and gagging. Tang Wanzhi walked out of the kitchen and saw Fu Shihan pushing and rubbing Huo Yan's shoulder.

She knew that the two children had been in a good relationship since they were young, but they were justified when they were young, but now they are both older children. If they stay close like this, in the future... I'm afraid they will have a misunderstanding.

"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Qianmo suddenly appeared, and she frightened Tang Wanzhi: "Oh, stinky girl, are you Monkey Sun? You are everywhere, you are so amazing."

Tang Qianmo chuckled: "I'm not seeing you in a daze, I want to come over and scare you."

Tang Qinmo is Fu Shihan's cousin, who just entered university this year, is a strange girl.

"Auntie, what do you think."

Tang Wanzhi shook her head: "Nothing."

Tang Qinmo looked back at Fu Shihan and Huo Yan in the kitchen, and let out a long "Oh", "I see, you are worried about your brother and sister Huo Yan."

"Smelly girl." Tang Wanzhi knew that she couldn't hide anything from this ghost, so she pulled her to the window and whispered, "Your brother and Yanyan have been good since they were young, and that's nothing."

Tang Qinmo said, "Auntie, when have you seen your brother smile happily to other girls like that?"

Tang Wanzhi turned her head, through the half-covered kitchen door, faintly, she could also see Fu Shihan's flat brows and eyes, with a petting smile, looking at Huo Yan's eyes, so gentle and peaceful.

"My brother is cold to everyone, especially the brothers and sisters of us who were always taught by him when we were young." Tang Qianmo pouted, "It's sister Huo Yan. He will hold her and protect her when she was young, and not let us Bullying her, if Sister Huo Yan makes a mistake, he is better than anyone else."

"He treats Huo Yan as his sister."

Tang Qianmo smiled: "Which one of us is not his younger brother and sister, I don't think he regards Huo Yan as his sister at all, this is his wife!"

Tang Wanzhi was startled and quickly covered her mouth. At this moment, Huo Si Nuan walked over and said to Tang Wanzhi: "Auntie, is there anything I can help in the kitchen?"

"It's almost the time now, you don't need to go there. Today is wearing a beautiful white dress, don't get dirty."

"Auntie, I will go downstairs to greet Shihan's classmates."

"Go ahead."

Huo Sinuan and Tang Qinmo looked at each other, she smiled at her, but Tang Qinmo dismissed her and didn't put her in his eyes.

After Huo Sinuan left, Tang Wanzhi said: "Your sister Sinuan is your future sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

Tang Qianmo hummed and said, "You didn’t see your brother’s indifferent attitude towards this Huo Sinan. Moreover, some of our brothers and sisters don’t like Huo Sinan. She is too pretending. Sister-in-law, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it."

Tang Wanzhi poked her head: "Si Nuan is polite, rules, and pretends nothing. You think everyone is like you, being out in the wild all day long, not knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Tang Qianmo said, "You adults, you just like to pretend to be stupid. Just now, Sister Huo Yan was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and she didn't see this Sister Sinuan come over to ask. She was just busy socializing downstairs. It’s all on the table, so she rushed over and asked if she could help in the kitchen. Auntie, which one of their sisters is better, don’t you feel like a mirror in your heart."

"Is it possible that my sister wants my sister again. The Huo family can't make it, and it's also a blow to Sinuan. I don't want to talk about this in the future." Tang Wanzhi sighed: "Your brother has so many friends, it's all good. My child, I will help Huo Yan pay attention to good people."

"Auntie!"

Seeing Tang Wanzhi leaving behind, Tang Qianmo stomped his feet in hatred for iron and steel.

In the living room, Huo Si Nuan cut the pieces of fruit and put them in front of Tang Qianmo: "Sister, do you want to eat fruit?"

Tang Qianmo's eyes fell on the Chanel bag beside Huo Si Nuan, a sneer evoked at the corner of his mouth, and pointed to the other girls in the room, and said: "They are my sisters, they are related by blood. Which sister are you? What qualifications do you have to call my sister."

Huo Si Nuan's face was a bit ugly. She knew that Tang Qianmo had always disliked her, but in order to marry the Fu family smoothly, she had to build a good relationship with the sisters in the family and let them like her.

"Sister Qianmo, I know you don't like me, but I really don't know what I did wrong. If I didn't do anything wrong, you can tell me and I will change it."

Tang Qianmo glanced at her, seeing her such a low-pitched appearance, but he felt a little bit disgusted in her heart.

"Do you really want to marry my brother?"

Huo Sinan pretended to be innocent and said: "This is not a question I want to do or not. I should have been your brother's wife."

Tang Qianmo sneered: "Really, but as far as I know, the marriage contract between the Fu family and the Huo family refers to the Huo family's daughter and the Fu family's son, but it must not be you Huo Sinan."

The smile at the corner of Huo Si Nuan's mouth gradually faded. She looked at Tang Qianmo and said lightly, "What do you mean."

"What I mean is obvious, the two daughters of the Huo family, it is not certain who will marry my brother in the future."

Huo Sinuan's hand was clenched into a fist, and she said in a calm voice: "You mean that wild girl, she doesn't have the capital to compete with me."

Since she was a child, Huo Sinan has been the best. All the efforts of the whole family have been devoted to her. Huo Yan has nothing, a fool, so why should she compete with herself.

However, at this moment, Tang Qinmo suddenly shouted: "Brother, when did you come down, you didn't say a word. I was chatting with Sister Sinuan. She said that others are not qualified to compete with her, so funny. Your future wife will still compete for employment."

Huo Si Nuan's face suddenly turned pale, and the bones all over his body became stiff.

She turned her head, Fu Shihan stood behind her with a cold face and cold eyes.
